Orange loosestrife is a new variety of perennial herbaceous aromatic plant, characterized by its bright aroma and rich taste. Bushes reach a height of 25–30 cm, have a stem diameter of 45–50 cm and weigh about 170–200 g. Due to dense foliage, leaves retain their aroma even after cutting.
The yield of greens is high – in the range of 3.5–4 kg/m² (in some sources, 3.0–3.6 kg/m²), which makes the plant attractive both for home growing and commercial production. Cuttings are made during flowering, starting from the second year of vegetation; plants are cut at a height of 15–20 cm from the soil surface.
In cooking, marjoram is widely used as an aromatic seasoning for vegetable, potato and meat dishes. Its leaves are suitable for making tea, as well as being used in home baking and canning. In addition to culinary properties, the plant has medicinal qualities, serves as a decorative element of the garden and is an excellent honey plant, attracting bees to its flowers.
